<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>Regexp::Common::balanced -- provide regexes for strings with balanced parenthesized delimiters or arbitrary delimiters.</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>    use Regexp::Common qw /balanced/;

    while (&lt;&gt;) {
        /$RE{balanced}{-parens=&gt;&#39;()&#39;}/
                                   and print q{balanced parentheses\n};
    }</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>Please consult the manual of <a href="./Regexp::Common.html">Regexp::Common</a> for a general description of the works of this interface.</p>

<p>Do not use this module directly, but load it via <i>Regexp::Common</i>.</p>

<h2 id="$RE{balanced}{-parens}"><a id="RE-balanced--parens"></a><code>$RE{balanced}{-parens}</code></h2>

<p>Returns a pattern that matches a string that starts with the nominated opening parenthesis or bracket, contains characters and properly nested parenthesized subsequences, and ends in the matching parenthesis.</p>

<p>More than one type of parenthesis can be specified:</p>

<pre><code>        $RE{balanced}{-parens=&gt;&#39;(){}&#39;}</code></pre>

<p>in which case all specified parenthesis types must be correctly balanced within the string.</p>

<p>Since version 2013030901, <code>$1</code> will always be set (to the entire matched substring), regardless whether <code>{-keep}</code> is used or not.</p>

<h2 id="$RE{balanced}{-begin-=&gt;-&quot;begin&quot;}{-end-=&gt;-&quot;end&quot;}"><a id="RE-balanced--begin----begin--end----end"></a><code>$RE{balanced}{-begin =&gt; &quot;begin&quot;}{-end =&gt; &quot;end&quot;}</code></h2>

<p>Returns a pattern that matches a string that is properly balanced using the <i>begin</i> and <i>end</i> strings as start and end delimiters. Multiple sets of begin and end strings can be given by separating them by <code>|</code>s (which can be escaped with a backslash).</p>

<pre><code>    qr/$RE{balanced}{-begin =&gt; &quot;do|if|case&quot;}{-end =&gt; &quot;done|fi|esac&quot;}/</code></pre>

<p>will match properly balanced strings that either start with <i>do</i> and end with <i>done</i>, start with <i>if</i> and end with <i>fi</i>, or start with <i>case</i> and end with <i>esac</i>.</p>

<p>If <i>-end</i> contains less cases than <i>-begin</i>, the last case of <i>-end</i> is repeated. If it contains more cases than <i>-begin</i>, the extra cases are ignored. If either of <i>-begin</i> or <i>-end</i> isn&#39;t given, or is empty, <i>-begin =&gt; &#39;(&#39;</i> and <i>-end =&gt; &#39;)&#39;</i> are assumed.</p>

<p>Since version 2013030901, <code>$1</code> will always be set (to the entire matched substring), regardless whether <code>{-keep}</code> is used or not.</p>

<h2 id="Note">Note</h2>

<p>Since version 2013030901 the pattern will make of the recursive construct <code>(?-1)</code>, instead of using the problematic <code>(??{ })</code> construct. This fixes an problem that was introduced in the 5.17 development track.</p>
